Marking a quote as the primary quote from the opportunity details screen

An opportunity can contain multiple quotes. In such a scenario, you can define one of the quotes within an opportunity as the primary quote. The primary quote is a quote that is most likely to be accepted by the customer and get converted to an order. You can, however, mark only one quote as the primary quote for an opportunity. The details of the primary quote is used for analysis and reporting, such as revenue forecasting.
